In this video, we're going to talk about why you should never get your gallbladder removed

unless you absolutely positively need to. Today I'm going to talk about six lies that the surgeons

will tell you that you need to know the truth about. I'm also going to get into the best foods to

consume if you have a gallbladder problem. Gallbladder removal is one of the most common surgeries done, especially in the U.S.

And I think, if I'm not mistaken, there's over 3,000 gallbladder removal surgeries every single day in the United States.

I'm also talking about omega-3 fatty acids. To be able to extract any of that from your food, you're going to need bile. And that's one of the purposes of the gallbladder to concentrate it. If you don't have a gallbladder, your liver still makes it, but there's no storage. It just trickles down this little tube into the small intestine.

So number one, that's going to be an issue with your digestion and your ability to get

these important fats.

The second purpose of the gallbladder is it helps you regulate the bile release.
